Summary

Madison Elementary School is a small public school serving 129 students in prekindergarten through grade 6 in the rural Madison, New Hampshire, community. Part of the Madison School District, it has an 11:1 student-teacher ratio and a close-knit school setting. Its 2025–26 ranking places it in about the 33rd percentile statewide, although it currently ranks somewhat better than several nearby schools, including Conway Intermediate School, Effingham Elementary School, and Josiah Bartlett Elementary School.

Madison’s academic results are mixed, with reading and science standing out as relative strengths. Overall reading proficiency was 51%, just four points below New Hampshire’s average and higher than results at Josiah Bartlett Elementary School, Ossipee Central School, Freedom Elementary School, and several other nearby schools. Science proficiency was 42%, four points above the state average and stronger than results at Ossipee Central School and Northeast Woodland Chartered Public School. Reading performance is also consistent across grades 3–6, with results near 50% or higher.

Mathematics is the clearest area for improvement: 30% of students were proficient, compared with 44% statewide. Grade 5 was encouraging at 50%, but grades 3 and 4 were about 20 points below the state average, and grade 6 was particularly low at 19%. Families may want to ask how the school supports foundational math skills, sixth-grade intervention, and the transition to middle school. Madison’s ranking has improved substantially from its 2018–19 low point, but recent results suggest stabilization rather than a return to its earlier peak. Its small enrollment can make annual scores fluctuate, so grade-level trends and school supports are especially important to consider.
